Let a and b be the roots of the quadratic x^2 - 5x + 3 = 2x^2 + 15x - 10. Find the quadratic whose roots are a^2 + a + 1 and b^2 + b + 1.

Simplifying, the quadratic equation is x2+20x13=0. Therefore, a + b = -20 and ab = -13.

 

Now, 

(a2+a+1)+(b2+b+1)=(a2+b2)+(a+b)+2=(a+b)22ab+(a+b)+2=400+2620+2=408

 

Also,

(a2+a+1)(b2+b+1)=(a31)(b31)(a1)(b1)=(ab)3(a3+b3)+1ab(a+b)+1=(ab)3(a+b)3+3ab(a+b)+1ab(a+b)+1=823

 

Hence, the required equation is x2408x+823=0.
